Balogun-Arogunjo, the father of slain Diploma II student, Osun State
Polytechnic, Iree, has
asked government to ensure the killers of his
son, Adeola, are brought to justice.
Balogun-Arogunjo, however, thanked the
school’s authorities for “ensuring the arrest of the killers.”
He added, “The case is now
with the police; all I plead for is justice. How can cadets, who are
supposed to ensure peace and tranquillity in the institution, turn into
killers?
“If my son was guilty of
any offence, he should have been arrested, prosecuted and not beaten to
death. There’s punishment for every offence in the country.”
Adeola, a Computer Science
student, was beaten by cadet corps – a student group in charge of
discipline and security – among students in the school. They beat them (Adeola and Oladayo ) with cudgel, rods, and lacerated their body with bottle
corks. They didn’t beat Adeola for too long before he slumped and was
rushed to the hospital, where he eventually died.
The cadets had accused Adeola and Oladayo of belonging to cult groups. Oladayo died shortly in a hospital he was rushed to.
Two of those that beat the students have been arrested and are being interrogated by the police.
Share your thoughts...thanks!
